Information Management :: Issue Tracking

About: Cerberus Helpdesk is an email application which focuses on teams
sharing mailboxes. It features Fetch and Retrieve, Super Sorter, and

products" vs. "I need help with an invoice.") This update also includes
dozens of new features and usability improvements from community feedback.

Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries

methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C
programs. You can use only a few objects and classes in a program, or you
can write programs entirely in ctalk. The package provides a translator

run-time support for class objects. The preprocessor, ctpp, is also
available separately, and the package includes sample programs and
documentation. 

Changes: This release provides improved critical error handling,
additional methods in the Array and Time classes, and several bugfixes.

[007] - dwdiff 1.3 
  by gphalkes (http://freshmeat.net/users/gphalkes/)
  Thu, Dec 20th 2007 03:36

Text Processing

About: dwdiff is a front-end for the diff program that operates at  the
word level instead of the line level. It is different from  wdiff in that
it allows the user to specify what should be  considered whitespace, and
in that it takes an optional  list of characters that should be considered
delimiters.  Delimiters are single characters that are treated as if  they
are words, even when there is no whitespace  separating them from
preceding words or delimiters.  dwdiff is mostly commandline compatible
with wdiff. The  default output from dwdiff is the new text, with the 
deleted and inserted parts annotated with markers.  Command line options
are available to change both  what is printed and the markers.

Changes: A new option was added for showing the line numbers from the old
and the new file along with an option that shows several lines of context
around changes but skips large common blocks of text.

[009] - Firewall Builder 2.1.16 
  by Vadim Kurland (http://freshmeat.net/users/vkurland/)
  Thu, Dec 20th 2007 11:05

System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for
various firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a database of objects
and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. The GUI
and policy compilers are completely independent, which provides for a
consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different firewall
platforms. It currently supports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw, OpenBSD pf, 
Cisco PIX and FWSM, and Cisco routers access lists.

Changes: A bug introduced in 2.1.15 that broke the generated firewall
script for iptables if the option "use iptables-restore" was on is fixed
in this release. Additional checks were added to the generated script for
iptables to improve error detection and make sure the GUI properly detects
when it terminates with an error. Support for load balancing with PF was
also added.

tab-completing filenames. It also improves autodetection of DOS/Mac files,
supports the mouse wheel when using ncurses built with the
--enable-ext-mouse option, fixes some problems under NetBSD curses, and
adds translation and documentation updates. Finally, nano is now licensed
under GNU GPLv3 or later, and its documentation is now dual-licensed under

  Thu, Dec 20th 2007 07:03

Communications :: Email
Internet

About: Greylite is an implementation of a modified greylisting technology
for fighting spam on mail servers running qmail. It does not require qmail
to be patched, but is simply plugged in to the top of the qmail chain, thus
working smoothly with already-patched installations. It is self-contained
because it uses SQLite, and is easy to setup and maintain, small, and
fast.

Changes: Greetdelay and client behavior analysis were added. The dnsblenv
module was added for combining greylite's suspicion with DNS/RBL
blacklists. Verified servers are now pruned automatically after 25 days of
inactivity.

[025] - OpenAFS 1.4.6 
  by Edgester (http://freshmeat.net/users/edgester/)
  Thu, Dec 20th 2007 10:37

Communications :: File Sharing
System :: Filesystems

About: AFS is a distributed filesystem which offers a client-server
architecture, transparent data migration abilities, scalability, a single
namespace, and integrated ancillary subsystems.

Changes: The fileserver host tracking code had a missing lock on a host
structure; that lock has been added. Fileserver handling for clients that
are giving up callbacks did not hold a lock, making it unsafe and allowing
clients to potentially crash the server by racing. The fileserver now
leaves a core file when it is doing a shutdown due to error conditions.
The fileserver again allows UFS as a valid filesystem type (regression in
1.4.5). The cbd handler for fileserver status data had an interpretation
error that could cause crashes. The fileserver accurately tracks the
number of callbacks on a given file.

  Thu, Dec 20th 2007 11:14

System :: Archiving
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring

About: Partimage Is Not Ghost (PING) is a live Linux ISO based on LFS
(Linux From Scratch). It can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated in
a PXE/RIS environment. Several tools that make it the perfect choice for
easily backing up and restoring whole partitions are included. It supports
backups to and from SMB shares, backup of BIOS data, the ability to blank
the local admin's password, creation of bootable restoration DVDs, the
ability to partition and format a disk before installing Windows, and
more.

Changes: Users have the option to have PING reduce NTFS partitions to the
maximum before backing them up. That way, such images can be restored to
smaller partitions. OS upgrades: Linux kernel 2.6.23.12, Samba 3.0.28,
dhcpcd 3.1.8, NTFS-3G 1.1120, and FUSE 2.7.2.

and its associated ETL template. 

Changes: This release has a number of bugfixes and usability improvements,
as well as improved support for self-referencing relationships, deferred
checking of foreign key constraints, and performance improvements to table
profiling. All users should upgrade as soon as possible.

matching now allows for multiple connections. Starting minimized to the
system tray is now an option. PortAudio support has been improved. A

option was removed. Messages line limit is now checked. The patchbay
snapshot has its ordering back. ALSA Sequencer support is now optional.
Connections are prevented from duplicate, astray entries. Xrun stats reset
with a middle-button click. A warning is now issued when disconnecting
active Patchbay connections.

About: Virtualmin is a Webmin module that simplifies the  process of
setting up and managing virtual servers.  It can create Apache virtual

mailboxes and mail  aliases within a domain. 

Changes: This release adds an option to make the Unix group name for a new
domain always follow the username. The Administration username field has

jobs created by Virtualmin will still be recognized even if manually
modified. Alias mail domains can now be implemented by copying virtusers
into the alias rather than using a catchall. Shells for mailboxes and
domain owners are now configured on the new Custom Shells page. The Extra
Administrators feature has been added, which allows domain owners to
create additional restricted logins.
